Guest David Noble discusses the flaws in the recently negotiated tentative agreement (TA), arguing that President Renfroe's use of statistics is misleading and that he failed to account for the $3,369 loss in purchasing power since the last contract. Noble explains the three ways letter carriers receive pay increases (general wage increases, cost of living allowances, and step increases), highlighting how the TA fails to adequately address inflation, particularly for CCAs who receive no step increases. He criticizes the delayed release of the TA's language and the inclusion of a ballot identification number violating federal law. Noble details the significant changes to overtime rules in the TA, which were not disclosed in the summary provided by Renfroe, and expresses concern about the significant ballot mailing issues preventing many members from voting. He also emphasizes the critical need to address the crippling backlog of grievances pending arbitration, advocating for the addition of more arbitrators to expedite the process and ensure fair contract enforcement, contrasting the current union's focus on finances over addressing carrier issues. He concludes by suggesting that Renfroe's actions indicate a bias towards management rather than letter carriers.
